Most importantly from my perspective, Aveline is the most worthwhile female lead character since Ubisoft’s own Jade from Beyond Good & Evil. There’s no sexualisation or exploitation in her character, and yet by the same token Aveline is very much a woman, not an gender-neutral character or a male-in-woman-form which...
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood has a handful of funny moments, plenty of fairly easy but entertaining puzzles and platforming/chase scenes all wrapped up in lovely visuals. The adventure doesn’t have great replay value, but the first time through it’s long enough, and the price of admission is absolutely worth...
LEGO Star Wars will always have a warm fuzzy spot in my heart because it merged two of my favourite childhood (who am I kidding? adult as well…) things. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is the best of these games to date and definitely worth a week or so of your...
Credit should be given for creating a creepy atmosphere and a deep crafting system. There is plenty of entertainment to be had here once you learn the ropes, but the unforgiving deaths that help keep the tension high also rob Don’t Starve of some of its fun due to the...
Compared to some racing games, the number of cars and tracks might feel somewhat light. Those mingled with the microtransactions that the credit system seems to try and take advantage of do hurt the overall value of the game. Forza Motorsport 5 is a great deal of fun however, even...
I went into République anticipating a rich narrative experience that would challenge the mind more than the reflexes. While I’m certainly interested in seeing how the game plays out in subsequent chapters, I came away from the first chapter a little cold, because it struggled mightily to break away from...
With the PlayStation 4 out now and selling strongly, Gran Truismo 6 is likely Sony’s last major hurrah for the PS3. It’s perhaps a niche game in that many people would rather their racing games to come with arcade thrills, but for the more serious racing game fans out there,...
There is absolutely nothing that redeems this game. Once you’ve played through the first level you’ve fundamentally experienced everything that the game has to experience, and because there’s no real sense of progression as you play, the temptation will be there to take it back to the store for an...
What’s left is good fun, but goofy fun, and clean presentation aside it doesn’t really do the franchise justice. Or perhaps we’ve been so spoiled by the epic experiences of the console games that there was no way an iPad game was going to hit expectations. I don’t know which...
Guerrilla Games had time to work with the hardware, and it showed in the visuals and the use of the controller. It ticks off all the boxes you look for in a shooter while doing a nice job of showing off what the PlayStation 4 can do. Killzone Shadow Fall...
There is a lot of trial and error to be had here, and having multiple gamers obviously means more minds to figure out the puzzle, but more opportunities to mess up. In particular I liked the character who propels things forward. My son liked to create blocks and jump on...
With multiple types of crops to grow and sell and plenty of different equipment to buy and land to field, there’s a true wealth of content in Farming Simulator 2014. If you can look past the fact it was clearly built on a budget (it looks good, but pop-in is...
